I've kept the 3.5 books I liked the most and I'm more than happy to play that game (or run it) if the mood strikes me and any potential victims. The reason is pretty simple, Pathfinder is to close to 3.5 for me to justify buying the game books. Adventures are nice, but if I were to go to 3.5, I'd probably homebrew.To your larger point, to me voting with my dollars means two things: not buying what I don't want and actually buying what I do want. Generally speaking, I don't not buy from a company because they make decisions I disapprove of.Let's take McDonalds. Bob disapproves of eating meat that was raised inhumanely, so he doesn't eat at McDonalds because of where their meat comes from. So far, so good. But what about their salads? If Bob agrees with me, then it might make sense to buy a salad there, or a meat free entree. Why? Because buying a meat free item would encourage to McDonalds to provide more such offerings, possibly reducing the amount of meat they buy.Consider Chipotle. They wanted chicken that was raised humanly, but it cost more money. So they upped the price of a chicken burrito. I read in an article that the owner was told someone that no one would pay $5 for chicken. But people do. I'm applying the same strategy to Wizards. I don't like fortune cards, so I'm not buying them. But I like the Gamma World boxed sets, so I bought them, and I'll buy the next one.It's like training a dog.</blockquote>
